One short day, in the Emerald City.....

So it was a whopping 55 degrees today...I had to look at my calendar to remind myself that it is indeed still January... we still had a fire for the sole purpose of me being a weenie muffin.

I'm prepping for Pinocchio auditions tomorrow, Friday and Sat...gonna be a long 3 days. Callbacks dont end until 7pm on Sat. Looking forward to starting this show.

Have kind of a scare at home going on right now, one of the ladies that lives below us is in the hospital right now with a 2nd case of Diverticulitis...they are draining the colon right now and she will have to have surgery. Praying for her to heal swiftly and to change her eating and drinking and smoking habits after this round - all this is due to her drug use and her eating and drinking habits. But she is still Auntie Bev, so I am praying for God to do His will and that His will might be how I would like it... but I won't argue with God.

Otherwise I am not sure anything much out of the ordinary has happened. I found out a girl I knew in high school was on the Nate Berkus show.. she looks nicer than she did in high school. I guess her and her husband had to move to Manhattan for his job and their apartment is only 600 sqft, 400 of which is the kitchen and bathroom. I'm slightly surprised given the fact that she was a hardcore Mormon that they don't have kids yet. (I'm not stereotyping, am I? hehe)

Made impeccable sushi tonight. Actually took the time to make the rice correctly this time and man what a difference! It was just like the sushi bar. I made a ton because usually Zac has about 7 entire rolls to himself... he started in too quick though and only ate about 6 pieces so now we have a ton of sushi for tomorrow. Not bad though.. we were going to take it to Dougan Falls today, but Peepers decided to take a five hour nap so that idea was shot.

Ya know who fascinates me? The Duggars and I don't know why. I love their show but I have no clue why. Now Barefoot Contessa - I know why I like that one... she makes such amazing dishes. I love her! As you can see I have been chillin a little too much this past couple weeks.

Finally cleaned out the car... 90% was trash. Big surprise there... feels good, smells awful. I still have to go get the upholstery cleaned from Peepers little up-chuck show on the way back from Idaho. I did the best I could and there is baking soda all over the back seat, but the Lysol air freshener decided to roll under something that made it spray continuously unbeknownst to me. So now my car smells like a smoking room at a Motel 6. Lovely. Makes me want to re-enact the puking scene from "my drive home from Idaho with a flu-ish 16 month old".

Speaking of, Peepers is only 2 weeks from being 18 months! My baby is a year and a half!!!!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE this age. He is so much dang fun it makes me sick. Not to mention that in 2 weeks, he gets to go to nursery at church now. I'm slightly estatic and slightly ready to bawl my eyes out at the same time. No wonder people have a dozen kids. I wish I could keep him at this age..

Ok signing off for the night - ice cream is calling my name and I have to get there before Zac does or else I will be stuck with carrots and ranch or something that isn't nearly as decadent.
